Cate is a single mom who got fired just before Christmas. Going on blind dates with zero chemistry didn't help. When her sister decided to take her along to a Jamaican vacation, she can't really refuse esp. when the child would be with the father at camp. Running into Derek in Jamaica, who rescued her from that bad blind date back in the US, was a pleasant surprise... Until he made a shocking proposal... // Derek is the heir apparent to a restaurant empire, but his stern father wants him to get married ASAP... Or he'll be disowned and restaurants given to a cousin to run instead. Derek can only think of finding a fake fiancee, and after meeting Cate in several locations, it's clear fate is telling him that she's the one. But Cate's relatively poor, unemployed, and single mom... and Derek's father quickly dismissed her as a golddigger, even as Derek and Cate fell for each other. Can their relationship survive?
These threats never really make sense, and serves as a 'weird will'. The part about "Your sweat and tears and years you put into the business means NOTHING unless you get married and produce a child" always sounds so stupid and unreasonable. This book didn't do much to explain the why, and thus didn't deviate much from the formula.
